Keir Starmer calls King Charles’ message ‘powerful’

British Prime Minister Kier Starmer has reacted to King Charles’ message.

On Friday, the king shared a video message in hope of raising awareness for cancer.

This was the first time the king himself had addressed his own cancer treatment in a long time.

In 2024, the king was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer, around the same time as Kate Middleton’s diagnosis.

The king revealed “Today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to ´doctors´ orders´, my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the new year.”

Keir wrote in response to the message which was shared to highlight the importance of cancer screening checks with Stand Up To Cancer campaign, run by Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.

The British Prime Minister wrote “A powerful message from His Majesty The King.”

He added “I know I speak for the entire country when I say how glad I am that his cancer treatment will be reduced in the new year.”

In his message, the monarch encouraged individuals to get screenings done so in case of cancer being present in one’s body, it can be detected at an earlier stage which is easier to treat.
